How to restore if CD-ROM is not working anymore?
I have a Satellite A45-S250 (Jan 2004) with XP SP3, still working, but the built-in Pioneer DVR-K120 CD-ROM has stopped reading any CD's. No FDD. Available boot options HDD, FDD, CD-ROM, LAN. No USB option.
I have made Drive Image PQ-backups every now and then on USB-HDD's, but it needs a bootable CD to restore drive C: (as all System Restore disks need).
The computer acted a bit funny lately and I tried to use the Windows System Restore but no one of 5 restore points succeeded.
What options do I have to get the system back to an earlier date when the CD-ROM does not work?
I have uninstalled the CD-ROM drivers and tried to install new drivers from the Toshiba website without success.
Same drivers still there and the CD-Rom tries a lot without success. Only Eject works.
I have tried to investigate the LAN boot option but have not found instructions that I understand to use.
Do you (or anybody) have instructions (and experience) how to boot from LAN ?
It would help to load the USB drivers so that I can use my separate USB CD-ROM writer to get the bootable CD to work and get the stored image back to C:, or use the factory restore disks.
I have 3 other computers with XP networked with this Toshiba on a wireless Netgear router.
At boot with LAN option it shows my MAC and needs some input. What should the input be?
Or should I buy a new internal CD-ROM? Which type would fit in this laptop?
Since this is a general question that many must have had (or are going to get), I am sure that an easy fix would be available. I am looking for some help.Welcome to recovery disk **bleep**, I can use the company.
If the CD won't work, you pretty much have a problem. In your case I suspect this is one of two things:
1. Device driver problems, or
2. Your CD has died
Before doing anything else, try Control panel, System, Hardware, Device Manger. On the View menu, click the "show hidden devices". Uninstall all the drivers for any CD drives shown, and while you are at it uninstall the IDE / ATA controllers. Shut down the computer, then restart. Windows will load and "rediscover" all the devices you just deleted. Sometimes that works. If it still doesn't work go back into the Device Manager and see if there is a yellow exclamation point on the CD-ROM that could point to a resource conflict. The driver details for the yellow objects will give you some hints on what to look for.
If not, you may have a failing CD drive. However, before you despair totally, it might just be a connector problem. I don't know your model, but most CD's slide out by pressing a moveable tab on the bottom of the case, or by removing a single screw. Remove the CD drive (it will just slide out). Say a small prayer. Reinsert the CD, giving it a firm shove with your thumbs when you do. If it was just a loose connector, you might get lucky and reseat it successfully. Also, check the lens on the CD for dirt / dust / last weeks lunch. The lens can be cleaned with a special CD cleaner, or a cotton swab with some alcohol.
If the CD is well and truly dead, you have two options. FIrst, you can obviously replace the CD. Your friendly computer store will have a replacement and they are not terribly expensive. You might need to reuse the Toshiba mounting rails and bezel to get it back in your unit the same way, but those are normally easy to change with a screwdriver.
The other option is to put the recovery disk in a USB attached CD-ROM drive and see if you can boot that way. Obviously you will need to physically remove the other drive, and maybe play with the BIOS boot priority (from Toshiba HW Setup in Control Panel) so that it boots from the CD first and not the HDD. Some Toshiba models let you temporarily tweak this by pressing "C" or "F12" at power on instead of using the setup utility (try that first). -
Satellite A30 - CD-ROM does not work properly
My CD ROM does not work properly because of corrupted drivers. I have tried uninstalling etc. How do you load new drivers or even reformat from the recovery disc when the CD ROM drive won't work?
Seems like catch 22. Anyone help?If it is really a problem with the drivers for your CD-Rom, you can recover it.
Because you need to boot your Notebook with the Recovery CD/DVD.
This has nothing to do with missing drivers in the Windows Operating System.
And if you can not boot with the Recovery Disc, I would say your Disc drive is broken. -

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -
I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -
i phones updated iso 8.01 all three phones will not connect to service provider and touch id
will not work APPLE HELP !!!!!!!!!
anyone know i fix as i have spent over 2000 pound on three phones that won't work
all three where working fine until the 8.01 updateApple just pulled the update because it is a major fubar! You will have to rollback your iPhone to the base iOS 8 using iTunes and Apple needs to seriously test its patches!
Update:
Simply connect your phone to iTunes and back up your data. Then, click the “Restore iPhone” button and follow the on-screen instructions. It’s a huge pain, but at least it’s better than having your shiny new iPhone turned into a big expensive iPod touch. -
My ipod touch has been disabled for 212,456,875 minutes! I have followed all instructions on the apple support site to restore it but this has not worked. Help!
Without know exactly what you did or what happened:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Since I upgrade to Lion OS my optical drive stop working can't read or write at all I did what I could to fix it but still not working , any help please
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I have deployed one application containing youtube video but it is not working pls help Application is build using struts2 and is deployed in oracle cloud, login page works fine but the success page is not displayed please help
Hello,
A wild guess, given the lack of details:
I wonder whether it would violate the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy ?
This is part of the security infrastructure.
"Stealing" content to insert it anywhere else might also violate copyrights?
Technically, does it at least work "on premises" onto WLS 10.3.6?
